No Matter How Much You Suffer
The Gospels are not a fairy tale. But without admitting that there are spirits, life after death, Heaven and the hell, none can truly understand the Gospels in addition to the words of Christ Jesus.
Before men developed the modern science, people could simply and easily believe in what the Bible and Christ Jesus told. Before the religious reform in the 16th century and the start of the modern science in the 17th century, people could simply and easily believe in the exitance of the God, spirits, angels, etc. However, the more the science develops, the more people come to realize that mysteries in the universe and the spirit world thicken.
If you think that everything can be eventually scientifically explained, or only what can be scientifically explained is real, you have to admit that our science has not yet developed sufficiently, since your minds exist and you have your own spirit worlds in spite that our science cannot yet scientifically explain the exitance or the details of your minds, consciousness, or your own spirit worlds.
For example, before men definitely or scientifically found that light has no mass but a certain speed of about 300,000 Km/sec in the early 20th century regardless that it is measured by anybody moving at any speed, light existed and was perceived by men. Life after death seems to have been perceived by many people while living in this world, although it cannot be scientifically explained.
Indeed, according to various surveys, about 25% of people seem to have experienced spiritual phenomena or near-death experiences. However, except some unique scientists, not all the scientists and other people seem to be sincerely trying to clarify what are the spirit world, consciousness, death, life after death, etc. in addition to near-death-experiences.
But if you, even instinctually, admit the existence of the God or the words of Christ Jesus, the answer can be easily found: The God created this physical/material universe and the men and the human world in addition the spirit world. However, not all the people can enter into Heaven to be given eternal life but only those allowed by the God or Christ Jesus can be accepted in Heaven, although all the people, good or evil, can enter into the spirt world after their death.
Good people can be accepted in Heaven is truly the good news. However, evil people cannot be accepted in Heaven, but they are to be condemned to the hell. And the measure to judge whether a man is good or evil is whether he is poor or rich, since men can be rich only if they sell their souls to Satan who is the source of evil. So, the words of Christ Jesus are really Good News.
In this context, the spirt world, life after death, Heaven, the hell, angels, evil spirits, devils, demons, Satan, etc. must exist, since the God and Christ Jesus exist.
However, in order to prove their existence, scientists must have the sound and right sense about the God or Christ Jesus. And, it is assumed that men can eventually scientifically prove and judge the existence of the God, the spirt world, life after death, etc. But the conclusion must be that what Christ Jesus told 2000 years ago is right and correct.
Indeed, the intellectual work of the mankind since Plato is directed to this issue: the existence of the God, the spirt world, life after death, etc. Even Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, etc. in addition to other notable people in other religious domains have focused on this issue.
One's soul can survive one's physical death, which is indeed good news for everyone, since most people would not be afraid of their own death by believing in this good news. But, the rich and evil should fall into the hell and they must face complete extinguishment or demise of their souls, which must be the second and final true death. Only poor and faithful men can be given eternal life in Heaven.
So, no matter how much you suffer in this world due to poverty or unhappiness, your sorrow, sadness sincerity, etc. are paid off.

John 6, King James Version
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
